Crown moved

[couch]

I have had a crown on a back molar for a couple years without problems. Tonight, as I was flossing my teeth, I could not, initially get the floss between my tooth and the crown because the crown had moved! There is no pain and it is not wiggly. I was eventually able to floss the area, but I am very concerned. Will I have to have the crown replaced? Is a moving crown within the normal range of acceptability as long as there is no pain?  What should I do?

I had a routine dental exam a few weeks ago, before the crown moved.  I will ask the dentist about it when I bring my son in for his appointment next week, unless I have pain or discomfort before then. Now, I am just paying very close attention to it.

I have had the same thing for about 12 years.  Some days I can floss, others I can't.  The dentist has examined it and finds nothing wrong.  Plus, the hygienist has noted it and says it's nothing to be concerned with, and there's no decay.

Seeing a dentist to have a dental exam is advised.
